i'm a big movie buff. i'm a big reader. so for me, it's just -- it's the perfect thing to be able to flit from one subject to another because that's kind of the way my mind goes. it's the way i read the paper. >> you're one of the first openly gay op-ed columnists that we've seen. it's no longer as shocking as it would have been 20 years ago. how has it gone down? what reaction do you get? you wrote a fantastic piece about gay marriage the other day. i was particularly moved by what you said about your own father and how he dealt with you and your partner. how is that kind of column going down generally? >> where the world has changed so much, i get amazingly lovely e-mails from readers when i write about that topic. i also get some hate mail. society hasn't come as far as a lot of us would like to see it travel, but the reception's been very, very warm. it's a real privilege to be able to write about that issue as an openly gay man. it's funny, when we talked about me taking on an op-ed column, none of us said, hey, we'll

and i'm a big space geek. i love that. we'll see you back here tomorrow. "in the arena" starts right now. >>> good evening and welcome. i'm tom foreman. tonight we are getting mixed signals about a possible back room deal on the debt ceiling just hours away from what president obama at least at one point called a deadline for a decision. "the new york times" says president obama and the republican speaker of the house john boehner are close to an agreement. roughly it would involve $3 trillion in cuts and an eventual overhaul of the entire tax system. here's the catch, though. other sources are shooting down the idea that this is even happening as fast and hard as they can. listen to boehner himself earlier today on rush limbaugh's radio show. >> rush, there is no deal. no deal publicly, no deal privately. there is absolutely no deal. >> no deal, no deal, no deal. now, here's the white house spokesman jay carney. >> there is no deal. we are not close to a deal. we are -- obviously, the president is in discussions with all the leaders of congress as well as
